I am with you all the way. What we need to do is start a thread that educates the homeowner like we are doing here. I use the good brushes, the elastomeric caulk (because it doesn't crack and split...

Amen brother!! I haven't seen anyone suggest such ridiculously low prices but I had a customer or should I say prospective customer think that $29/hour was too high. I only work with an estimate but...

For the ceiling, multiply the length by the width.

For the walls. Add the perimiter and multiply by the height of the walls. For a 12 x 12 room it would be (12 + 12 + 12 + 12) x 8' if you had an 8...

Henry,

I would like to speak with you sometime. I am mostly a painter but am trying to diversify. I noticed you are on the board of the PWNA. Is there a way to send me a private message here?

Clough,

I am going to share what happened to me the other day. I am in Greensboro, NC.

I had an estimate to do in Madison, NC which is about 35 miles from my home.

I was advertising on...

That's weird that your post is missing. I printed that one out it was so helpful.

Also, are there any painting contractors here on this forum that are in North Carolina or near that could share what they are charging roughly per sqare ft to price jobs?

Thanks

Hi Clough,

Does the .80 - .90/sq ft figure that you are using include painting the trim as well? I believe that is what you are saying but I want to be clear.

Greetings Henry,

You are a wealth of information. Thank you.

If I have a deck that is about 700 sq ft with about 69 ft of pickets (these figures include the stairs and railings), using your...

If all that is needed is cleaning the deck what is the best cleaner to use? I am getting ready to clean a very dirty deck, almost black with dirt. I do not need to use a stripper.

Also coco... Some paint companies have an online paint estimator such as CertaPro. You could do an online estimate with them using your zip and an anonymous email addy to find out what they charge in...

This question is for Fr_Chuck. I have a house that is better than 1495 square ft and it is a 2 story home that is cut up. It is vinyl sided with Aluminum soffits. The gutters and downspouts are going...

For minimal prep work and one entry door, one closet door and one window, I charge .33 per sq ft per coat. For example, a 12x12 room with 8 ft ceilings is 384 square ft. So if I am painting one coat...

Also Fr_Chuck, what is the best approach for cleaning a roof that you know.

Thank you Fr_Chuck for your quick response. Does that .10 per sq ft include materials? How does the price change if it is 2 story or better?

Do you recommend a particular product for cleaning?...

Does anyone know what the going rates are for cleaning asphault shingle roofs? I am looking for a ball park per square foot price.
